The Year I returned to creative writing

New Novel: On the Record

History rarely agrees with itself.

Shortly after the Revolution that reshaped the nation, On the Record assembles the voices of those who lived through it: organizers and officials, witnesses and opportunists, believers and skeptics. Through interviews, testimony, transcripts, and fragments of personal recollection, a fractured picture emerges of how a single document became the catalyst of a profound national transformation.

Some remember the event as inevitable. Others insist it was misunderstood from the start. Many argue that what followed mattered far more than the Revolution itself.

As competing narratives overlap and contradict one another, the book traces how movements harden into institutions, how ideals are reshaped by compromise, and how history is written not by consensus but by repetition. What begins as an attempt to document the past slowly reveals something more unsettling,

Told entirely as an oral history, this novel explores power, memory, and the uneasy space between truth and belief.
